The Permanent Centre for Environmental Initiatives (CPIE in French) is an association created in 1984 under the law of 1901. The CPIE is a local departmental structure which impulses, develops networks, and values environmental initiatives and eco-responsibility.
From 1984 to 2018, the CPIE of Pays Tarnais (a French local district) has developed many educational and awareness raising projects about environment, but also advocated for sustainable development on the Tarn territory. The CPIE has been working with Envol Vert since 2018 on the project “Biodiversity conservation in the Tarn region”, by providing a technical support on amphibian biodiversity conservation.
